  • Ruthless Cassander: the King in Alexander the Great’s Shadow
    Feb 27 2026

    Alexander the Great lit up the world and left those around him to pick up the ashes. We know the stories of his conquests, rise to the very top, and ultimately his death — but what about after? What happened to his friends and family?

    Meet Cassander, the cut-throat figure who “watched” over Alexander’s home of Macedonia as he conquered far-off lands. Join us as we uncover Cassander’s story and find out why it’s not always good to be related to those at the very top.

  • The Missing Stars of International Football
    Feb 13 2026

    Over the past century, women’s football has been suppressed, banned and even criminalised. Yet, in 1971, a Women’s World Cup held in Mexico City (20 years before the first “official” FIFA Women’s World Cup) reached unprecedented numbers. The Final was watched by a record-breaking crowd, making it the highest-attended women’s sporting event in history. And until 2023, nobody knew.


    Listen to the incredible story of footballers fulfilling their dreams and defying all odds, inspired by the 2023 documentary, Copa 71, which shows never-seen-before footage of this historic event.

  • Warrior Queen Nanny of the Maroons - episode 2
    Feb 6 2026

    We often hear how the British Empire conquered the world. We hear far less about those who resisted. And even less about those who won.

    This is the story of Nanny of the Maroons: a woman who escaped slavery, led others to freedom, and fought her enslavers for years. From the Jamaican mountains, she outwitted the most powerful empire in history and built a community that refused to be conquered. Find out more about this warrior, leader, and legend!
